Clown Harbour
Exclusive professional retreats for creative individuals seeking renewal, refuge, and relaxation.

Professional Retreat Programs

Waking up and new beginnings...

There comes a time for each of us when we begin to accept our true nature. This is challenging for us all, so we seek out opportunities to grow into who we really are. We all share an absolute and universal need for play, people find refuge in play. However, more and more, due to technology and overburdened lifestyles, we are forgetting the way.

Our guests disconnect from expectations and responsibilities. Creative professionals of all trades join us for wellness experiences of all kinds. Clown Harbour is a sacred space where we specialize in creating a familial atmosphere for our guests to be themselves and explore.

Only 90 minutes north of Ottawa, Ontario. We host and facilitate 2 day, 4 day and 7 day retreats that combine wellness, clown, play, and theatre. Each experience is facilitated by a variety of energy practicioners from around the world.
Executive Director, Adam Zimmerman
Clown has been a focus and study for Adam since 1999. Performing, practicing, teaching clown and principles of play have led Adam to create a space for those who seek to raise frequencies and open an apatrue of awareness.

Working with Adam, the faciltators, guests, and participants can find a responsive and grounded expereince at Clown Harbour. As your host, Adam prepares programs
that include meditation, movement, clown, theatre, play based personal growth, wellness activities, and more.

Energy and awareness are elements of our day to day lives. We forget that even our thoughts and attenton to detail can influence how we feel. There are hundreds of natural, holistic, and new age approaches to understanding just what it means to focus our energy, feel the space, and truly listen. 6 lucky people will participate and experience a unique combination of wellness activities as inspiration. 

You are invited to participate in this wellness weekend retreat with Tanys Coughlan (Reiki and Aqualead Master/Teacher RMT, AMT), and Adam Zimmerman (BAC Theatre, Clown and Therapeutic Play Practicioner). The workshop will exlore the ancient practice of Reiki and energy healing with Tanys and spatial awareness skills using teatrical clown with Adam. 

Tanys will guide you through an introducion to your energy system, give an overview of Reiki as a practice, and demonstrate how to incorporate energy awareness into daily living. She will also offer an intrduction to healing crystals and provide a crystal package for you to take home. This non medicinal approach may be used as a wellness tool for meditation and refocusing.

Adam will explore the space with you, work with movement and focusing excercises to help you see things from a persepctive of playful interaction. He will guide you through techniques of seeing, feeling, and listening to the space we occupy. You are invited to share with playful laughter and insightful reflections.

There is an interesting connection which Tanys and Adam wish to explore. They share an idea that energy and awareness can be felt through different approaches and that clown skills and reiki share common threads. Both Adam and Tanys will offer guided meditation, explorations of empathy and share with participants approaches to dealing with our day to day as it is in the real world.

    Life is what we make of it and the "day to day" changes with each experience we encounter. An introduction to energy healing and crystals with Tanys, will give participants a chance to explore unseen energy in a safe, educational, and practical way.

    Clown and play skills are a way to explore the healing power of positivity and holding space. Adam will share with participants what this means through guided meditation, free formed exploration exercises, and practical techniques.
